Tributes

Beloved Laya, you meant a lot to me, your aliveness, your catching energy and I never saw you tired. We met during the German Osho Centre meetings and became friends. Your death – it leaves me speechless. Thinking about you,Chirantan

Laya, I will miss you. When we were doing the meditation days in Osho Ketan there was such a loving spirit around. Only a few people, but it was carefully prepared, with so much energy and attention. Like this I remember Laya. It was in different situations the same spirit of love, attention and humour. Thank you!Veet Sandeh

I have fond memories of you of the days spent in Goa. Your smile and loving ways will be treasured always. May you enjoy eternal bliss.Assunta

Osho Quote

The moment one realizes that death is the nature of the body, it suddenly becomes apparent that what is beyond the body was never born and so there is no question of its death. Thus, for the soul also, fear vanishes, because there is no reason to be afraid for that which cannot die. The fear arises due to the body and soul becoming identified with each other. It arises because the inner voice says, “I will not die,” and the outer voice says, “You will certainly die!” These voices become confused. We are not aware that these two different melodies intermingle, and we listen to them as if they were the melodies of the same instrument. That is the mistake.

In our ignorance there is always a fear of death, but we go on living as if there were no death. Every moment the ignorant person lives as if there were no death though he is frightened of it. The one who knows also lives as if there were no death, but he is aware that death can happen at any moment. He lives at two different levels. Life for him has split into two parts: the circumference has become separate from the center; the wave has become separate from the sea; the form has become separate from the formless. However, one cannot run away from death. It is a matter of wonder that a thing does not by itself cease to appear by our knowing that it is an illusion.Dimensions Beyond the Known, Ch 2, Q 1
